EVESHAM United can extend their lead at the top of the BGB Southern Midland Division when they travel to Buckinghamshirebased Chesham United.

They already hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Leamington who were held to a 2-2 draw by third-in-the-table Sutton Coldfield Town at Coles Lane last night.

Sutton twice led through central defender Ed Booth and a Nathan Moran pile-driver.

But Leamington levelled on both occasions, firstly through Liam Reynolds, before former Solihull Moors player Guy Sanders slammed home direct from a free-kick on 80 minutes.

Evesham will attempt to secure a 10th straight win and are boosted by the return of Steve Hands from suspension, while Gary Hay leads the attack after recovering from illness.

Chasetown make the trip to Bedfordshire side Barton Rovers, where a win would keep the Scholars among the play-off candidates.

Redditch United manager Gary Whild insisted he didn't want to lose wideman Alex Cowley who joined local rivals Bromsgrove Rovers late last week.

Whild discovered that Cowley, who was in his second spell with Reds, was unhappy at the club.

The manager released Cowley from his contract and waived the seven days' notice, which allowed Cowley to play for Bromsgrove last Saturday where he scored the only goal in their 1-0 win over Clevedon Town.
